Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 133 King of Hanzhong!
As soon as Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, Xing Daorong's desperate efforts finally prevented the collapse of Shu Han.

General Gan Ning died in battle on the city wall of Jiangling.

The commander-in-chief Lü Meng and the beheaded general Pan Zhang were beheaded and died in Chengdu.

The biggest crisis of Shu Han was finally resolved through Xing Daorong's efforts.

Everything that happens next will depend on Xing Daorong's own judgment.

But after all, everything was evolving in a good direction, and Xing Daorong's recently tense spirit finally got some relaxation.

Although Xiangfan had not yet been captured, Liu Bei was preparing to do something big first.

Become king!

In fact, the matter of becoming king had been talked about by the aristocratic families of Jingzhou and Yizhou for a long time, but there were too many wars before, so Liu Bei put it on hold for the time being.

Now that only the Battle of Xiangfan was left, Liu Bei no longer hesitated and prepared to become king.

This is a must.

After Cao Cao became king, Liu Bei had to fight back.

Otherwise, you will always be inferior to others. Not only will you not be able to hold your head up on the battlefield, but the generals fighting below you may also be dissatisfied.

It happened that Xing Daorong was in Chengdu, and Liu Bei was ready to settle the matter directly.

It was the autumn and winter of the fifteenth year of Jian'an.

After Liu Bei thwarted the Eastern Wu's plan to attack Jingzhou, he officially became king.

An altar was built in Mianyang, with a radius of nine miles and distributed in the five directions, each with flags and ceremonial guards.

In the city of Chengdu, colorful flags were flying, drums and music were playing, and the people were jubilant.

Except for the generals who were fighting outside and deploying defenses, all the ministers were arranged in order.

On the high altar, Liu Bei was dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a crown, with a dignified yet gentle smile on his face. He stood on the platform, overlooking the land he conquered with his blood and wisdom, as well as the soldiers and people who followed him loyally.

Cui Yan, Xu Jing and Fa Zheng invited Xuande to ascend the altar, presented him with the crown, seal and ribbon, then sat facing south, and was congratulated by civil and military officials on his title as King of Hanzhong.

All around, ministers stood in silence, and all civil and military officials were in formal attire, looking solemn and excited.

Xing Daorong was naturally among them, and he was standing in the first row.

Watching Liu Bei take the stage, he felt like he was witnessing history.

This feeling is amazing.

After all, it was only after Liu Bei became king that he crossed the river in white clothes. At that time, he must have been worried and didn't know what the future would hold.

Things are good now. First, Lu Meng is killed, and then Liu Bei becomes king. It is like a ray of sunshine in my heart, making me full of hope for the future.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the master of ceremonies read out the edict of conferring the title of king aloud. The sound echoed above the high altar and spread throughout the city of Chengdu.

In the edict, Liu Bei's achievements were listed one by one: from raising an army to fight against the bandits and support the Han Dynasty, to uniting the princes and fighting against powerful enemies; from his wisdom and courage in the Battle of Chibi, to the difficult capture of Jingzhou and Yizhou; to today's great victories in Hanzhong and Nanping, which shocked all directions.

Xing Daorong listened and sighed a lot.

He could not help but sigh, "At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was chaos and many heroes emerged. For example, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, the two Yuans, Han, Ma, Zhang Yang, Liu Biao and others, they controlled states and counties, and had more than ten thousand people. They all thought they could succeed the Han Dynasty and that Huan and Wen could easily surpass them."

"At that time, the lord was of little reputation and few men, yet he was able to rise up like a dragon and a phoenix, Bo Yu and Jun Xu, and gave wings to the states of Jing and Chu, and swept across the lands of Jing and Yi, and succeeded to the throne of Han, while Wu and Wei stood on equal footing with him. Who else could be like him if he were not a man of great talent?"

"Today is a time of righteousness. We will surely be able to clear the world and revive the Han Dynasty."

It was actually quite inappropriate for Xing Daorong to sigh like this. The decree to confer the title of king was being read out by the superiors, and you were mumbling something down there. How could that be proper?

But first of all, Xing Daorong was a favored general and no one would cause trouble for him.

Secondly, this sigh was also about how difficult it was for Liu Bei, and he naturally knew that this was just Xing Daorong's pure sigh. However, Xing Daorong did not notice that Wu Yi, who was next to him, showed a somewhat subtle expression when he heard his sigh.

However, since this was the ceremony of crowning the king, Wu Yi's expression naturally would not be seen by others.

On the high altar, as the imperial edict was read, Liu Bei slowly stepped forward and took the sword and seal symbolizing royal power from the master of ceremonies.

He shouted to the sky, "Liu Bei, descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, grandson of Liu Xiong, and son of Liu Hong, swears to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty to support the Han Dynasty, save the poor and the needy, and save the country from collapse!"

"If I break this oath, I will not be able to face my ancestors!"

After saying this, he bowed three times to the sky, and all the ministers followed suit.

When Xing Daorong saw this, he couldn't help but sigh again.

He had seen a few words in his previous life.

"If Qin Shi Huang met Qin Er Shi, he would be so angry that he would draw his Tai A sword and chop him down."

"If Li Shimin met Li Zhu, he would sigh, pat his shoulder, and then look up at the sky."

"When Zhao Kuangyin met Zhao Hao, he would look at him kindly and say: I have done my best, son."

"When Temujin met Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty, he would smile and say: It's good to go back to the grassland."

"When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Youjian, he would beat him up and scold him, but in the end he would also say with relief: He still has some backbone."

"When Nurhaci met Puyi, he would lament that this world was no longer something he could understand."

"Only Liu Bang would proudly say to Liu Bei when he met him: You have not brought shame to my ancestors, and you have made the Han Dynasty's 400 years of existence a dignified exit, and there are so many touching romantic stories."

Today, Xing Daorong doesn’t know whether the Han Dynasty will fade away after four hundred years, but he knows that this story is still so romantic.

If Jiang Wei could return to Han in the future, he would not be so lonely.

After Xuande became the King of Hanzhong, he prepared a memorial and sent someone to take it to Xudu.

The memorial said: "I have the talent of a minister, and I have taken on the responsibility of a general and commanding the three armies, but I have been ordered to leave. I have not been able to eliminate the enemy and stabilize the royal family. For a long time, Your Majesty's teachings have been delayed. The world is in turmoil and has not been at peace. I am only worried about the rebellion and am suffering from it."

"Dong Zhuo was a false rebel. Since then, a group of evildoers have been rampant and plundered the country. Thanks to your majesty's holy virtue and prestige, the ministers have responded together, some have fought bravely and some have been punished by heaven, and the tyrants have been killed, and the ice has gradually melted..."

Of course, this thing will definitely not be delivered to Liu Xie, but only to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao would certainly be furious when he saw this.

However, the general situation in the world is already like this, who would care whether Cao Cao is happy or not?

Unhappy.
Come and hit me!

After the ceremony, it is inevitable that everyone will be promoted.

Liu Bei's son Liu Chan was made crown prince.

Cui Yan was appointed as Grand Tutor, Xu Jing as Grand Preceptor, Fa Zheng as Minister of the Chancellery; Zhuge Liang was appointed as Military Advisor, in charge of important military and national affairs.

As for Xing Daorong, he was naturally promoted as well.

Guan Yu was appointed as the General of the Front, Zhang Fei as the General of the Right, and Xing Daorong as the General of the Left and Marquis of Nanping County.

Huang Zhong remained the General of the Western Expedition and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, Zhao Yun was the General of the Southern Expedition, Ma Chao replaced Xing Daorong as the General of the Northern Expedition, and Wei Yan was the General of the Eastern Expedition.

另.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Xing Daorong were given the title of Dragon Generals, and Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were given the title of Tiger Generals.

It is said that the King of Hanzhong has three dragons, four tigers and seven generals!
